Watching this video today did make me very angry. The internet can be such a wonderful facility, a resource for learning and a benefit to man-kind. We then have people like these scammers based in India and the Indian government via their weak law enforcement with such low standards that they can allow these criminals to operate within their borders.

It has affected my family as we have had to spend money installing call blocking technology to stop the continuous (2 or 3 calls per day) from scammers saying they are BT, Microsoft or UK HMRC trying to extort money for us.

UK law enforcement have just set up an Offensive capability aimed at terrorists why can't this same capability be also and at the same time also take out these criminals?

The UK is currently negotiating trade deals with other countries. Do we want to trade with countries who allow these criminals to operate?
